Gamers' Choice Voting: PC Strategy Game of the Year 2005

So you say you want to conquer the world? Well, which one, because 2005 had plenty of great choices for PC strategists. Players could range across human history in real time in Age of Empires III, or Rome: Total War: Barbarian Invasions, or go turn-based in Civilization IV. They could conquer fantasy kingdoms in Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard or go totally sci-fi in Winter Assault, the expansion pack for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Even the less military minded can get in on the action by conquering Hollywood in The Movies, theme parks in the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 expansions, or suburbia and academia in The Sims 2: Nightlife and University. What's at the top of your hit list?
